- ENGNR 9y agoMy pet theory is they've optimized hard into local maxima for engagement and profitability, at the expense of long term retention
- eurticket 9y agoPeople are ready to move on, Myspace lasted about 6ish? years before becoming overshadowed by Facebook in 2008, and I would consider Facebook becoming the default Social media site by 2010. Users desire a new platform.

- whatyoucantsay 9y agoEither my experience and that of my social circle is unrepresentative or YouTube is far more successful than these statistics indicate. Facebook may be larger, but it's not 40 times larger.
- acidburnNSA 9y agoAt least on my account friends don't seem to be engaging nearly as much as they used to. There are like 3 people who are driving conversations but it's pretty dead otherwise. I have tried to stop visiting the site after a recent article here said it was a DoS on the brain.

- LeeHwang 9y agoIs this the beginning of a myspace death spiral ? I've noticed a lot of younger people moving away from facebook to trendier platforms. Instagram and Periscope? seems to be huge.
